That Robin Hood story rubs against the grain. Is there a splinter of truth in there anywhere? Anyone who believes it without checking first is a sap.

Oh how marvellous. What a perfect pic-i-nic spot.

It's in downtown Santa Barbara, CA. They actually diverted the freeway around it.

This is a giant Banyan tree in Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. I saw it when I was on vacation. It is amazing, but, hard to capture in a picture.

Quote:

World famous Banyan Tree - located in courthouse square - in the center of Lahaina -was brought to Maui from India when the tree was just eight feet tall!! It was planted in April, 1873 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Lahaina's first Christian mission. It is usually teeming with Mynah birds. It now stands over 60 feet high, has 12 major trunks in addition to a huge core. It stretches over a 200-foot area and shades 2/3 of an acre. It is one of the largest Indian Banyan trees in the world. You cannot easily photograph the entire tree!

4fingermalone, That sounds like a sexual act. "Hey, baby. What do you want to do tonight?" "Why don't you give me a 4fingermalone?"

classicman · 06-17-2009, 06:07 PM

I saw that tree as well while there - it is truly majestic.

There's a house in town I've always called Spooky House, that I've always loved. It looks like the cover of a kid's ghost story book. There is a knobby tree in front of it, a large and strange thing, and once when the house was for sale I got the fact sheet and whoever bought it had to agree to keep the tree. I'll have to try to remember to take a picture of it sometime.

We have trees locally here called 'Moreton Bay Figs' which grow outwards like the ones above.

My kids love climbing on them.

Here's a pretty small one. They get much larger.

I'm sorry, I must truly be sick, but does anybody else see Asian S&M porn here? Someone suspended upside down with legs spread?

Sicksicksick... sorry

xoxoxoBruce · 06-18-2009, 11:29 PM

Nope, I don't see it. I don't even see her breasts hanging toward her head from being upside down.

That's what the one in Cali is! Must have been imported?
